Twenty years ago it was Charlie Trotter (https://sf.eater.com/2007/11/26/6809...d-than-trotter), and ten years ago it was the Trotter Project (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...300073392.html). If I recall correctly, both were worth about 6 months of increased attention to the variety and presentation of meals to some positive effect. Both efforts were short-lived as macroeconomic conditions worsened. This time we'll have a Middle East war and the resulting $200/bbl oil to thank for the premature (?) end to an elevated dining experience.
